      Listening to the german'ish "languages" of this set was a LOT easier than trying to read them.
      I don't know what happened to the Pennsylvania Dutch, but I as a Swissgerman who almost exclusively writes in dialect, would never write it like that! The last time I wrote in standard German was over two months ago.
      After a bit of researching it looks like this person chose an orthography unknown to me. In Pennsylvania Dutch you either use a writing style close to German or one close o English, the one in the video is neither.
      But I do seriously miss a German translation of the last 5 dialects/languages in addition to the English one (I understood the last four pretty well, Frisian did me give some issues though). Then you could see the similarities/differences. For the Limburgish and Zeelandish use Dutch?

      You guys should preserve your old languages.

      Actually, elfdalian preserves some features that would have been archaic even in old norse times. Trying to crown any one language as the king of archaisms is pointless and arbitrary, but elfdalian is a facinating language with some incredibly archaic features that is sadly probably going extinct. Most speakers i've heard other than the very old sound nothing like this, they sound like swedish speakers with maybe a particularly thick regional accent

    My family is originally Hunsrik speaking! Though, at the time when speaking any of the "axis languages" could give you a one way ticket to a concentration camp, during WW2, my "uhrgrosseltern" decided to ditch their native tongue in order to protect their children, of which they had 9. My grandmother, being the youngest, never had much contact with the German language (albeit having a very strong German accent).
    Upon learning of this, I have long ago decided to take Hochdeutsch classes, and then later start incorporating Hunsrik into the family again. On this, I have help from my GF, who is of Volgadeutsch descent, and also wants to learn the language of her family's elders.
    My classes start next year, wish me luck!

    • @Tobitobiify
      @Tobitobiify ปีที่แล้ว +3

      You need to be exposed to many German dialects both from the North and the South and then you will gain the ability to understand much of a German dialect you don't know yet.
      I just wrote this about my experience of the video:
      "I understand three of these languages perfectly and two relatively well: Pennsylvanian Dutch because it is very similar to the Palatine dialect I grew up with and because I lived in the US with Amish and Old Order Mennonites who speak Pennsylvanian Dutch. I learned to understand Plautdietsch when I did research among the "Russian" Mennonites in Mexico. Hunsrick is not very different from my own Palatine dialect."
      "I understand Limburgish relatively well because it is a Franconian dialect like my Palatine dialect and because I know Dutch. I understand Pommeranian relatively well because it is just another dialect without High German consonant shift like Plautdietsch, Pommeranian, Limburgish and Dutch."
      "I understood a lot of Shetlandic because it close to English and because I know Psalm 23."
      "I was totally lost at the two Nordic languages, I only understood “smörrebröd” which I learned from the Muppets!"

    Brazil!!!! I'm from Espírito Santo- Brazil And looking at the map of my state, in its central region are most of the German and Italian colonies, there are some cities like Domingos Martins, Santa Maria de Jetibá, Afonso Cláudio e Venda Nova do Imigrante they are typically European cities, from the weather to the contractions, if I'm not mistaken there is a radio station in Domingos Martins where only Pomeranian is spoken. In the southeastern and southern regions of Brazil, the presence of descendants of Europeans, mainly Portuguese, Italians, Germans and Japanese is very common. But the place best known for having Europeans is the southern region, where most immigrants, mainly Germans and some other Italians, went.

This served as a way to increase revenue from taxes, trade and so on by ruling Piast dynasty. Another reason was to populate depopulated regions, like Silesia after Mongol invasion (That is one of the reasons why Lower Silesa became mostly germanic-speaking, rather than slavic-speaking). Immigrants from Netherlands settled in the area where Wysymorys is spoken and mixed with the locals, bringing some influence to the language. Dutch migrants usually came from Holland , that is why Netherlands is officialy called 'Holandia' in Polish.

    I understand three of these languages perfectly and two relatively well: Pennsylvanian Dutch because it is very similar to the Palatine dialect I grew up with and because I lived in the US with Amish and Old Order Mennonites who speak Pennsylvanian Dutch. I learned to understand Plautdietsch when I did research among the "Russian" Mennonites in Mexico. Hunsrick is not very different from my own Palatine dialect (By the way, the transcription of Hunsrick was horrible!).
    I understand Limburgish relatively well because it is a Franconian dialect like my Palatine dialect and because I know Dutch. I understand Pommeranian relatively well because it is just another dialect without High German consonant shift like Plautdietsch, Pommeranian, Limburgish and Dutch.
    I understood a lot of Shetlandic because it is close to English and because I know Psalm 23 by heart.
    I was totally lost with the two Nordic languages, I only understood “smörrebröd” which I learned from the Muppets!

    As a native Dutch speaker: Shetlandic was 100% understandable, just by listening without looking at the English translation.
    Pennsylvania Dutch is actually not Dutch, but some sort of archaic form of (high) German. Since I also know German, I can vaguely make out the text. The relationship is similar to what modern day Dutch is to ‘modern’ day Afrikaans.

      The "Pennsylvania Dutch" are actually descended from German immigrants - the name is a misnomer that results from Anglo Americans mistaking 'Deutsch' for 'Dutch', if I'm not mistaken. The same process is theorized to explain a food we Americans call 'dutch babies', which likely have their origins in a German dish.

      Pennsylvania Dutch is an old dialect of German spoken in the states of Pennsylvania Ohio Indiana and other Midwestern states and also in Ontario Canada. It's speakers come from a variety of communities not just the Amish and Mennonites but also people known as the fancy Dutch who come from the German Lutheran Church and German reformed Church who originally came from the rhineland-politan region of Germany. Is an old dialect of German that is closely related to the dialect of German spoken in Southwest Germany and especially a dialect known as Palzisch. I am part Pennsylvania Dutch from the Amish Mennonite or what is known as the plain Dutch and the fancy Dutch the Lutheran Church Pennsylvania Dutch and reformed Church Pennsylvania Dutch. I have a grandmother who passed away years ago she was ex Amish and spoke to me duchess her mother tongue. I also have a second great grandfather on my dad's side of the family who was from the fancy Dutch who came from the German Lutheran Church and he spoke Pennsylvania Dutch as his mother tongue as well. I am currently learning Pennsylvania Dutch to get more in touch with my Pennsylvania Dutch heritage and background. The reason why it's called Pennsylvania Dutch and not Pennsylvania German although there are some who still call it Pennsylvania German is very complex and there are two opposing viewpoints as to why is Pennsylvania Dutch and not Pennsylvania German and I'm not going to get into all that right now person in the previous comment mentioned that one of the viewpoints but that is not the only viewpoint as to why it is called Pennsylvania German but just know that it is not Dutch nor is it related to Dutch at all it is an old dialect of German.
